The Toyota 86 is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The function of the transmission is to change the transmission ratio, expanding the torque and speed of the drive wheels. Taking the 2019 Toyota 86 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4420mm, width 1775mm, height 1320mm, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. The 2019 Toyota 86 is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 200ps, a maximum power of 147kw, and a maximum torque of 205nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The Toyota 86 comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and an optional 6-speed automatic transmission, both of which are quite classic. The manual version is designed with a sporty bias, featuring direct gear ratios and short shift throws, delivering a highly engaging driving feel. Its quick engine response makes it ideal for mountain roads or track enthusiasts. The automatic version, equipped with paddle shifters, offers convenient operation and proves more hassle-free in urban traffic congestion. Technically, the manual transmission boasts a simple and lightweight structure, with excellent factory-matched chassis tuning for precise throttle-brake control. The automatic version's electronic control system ensures smooth operation but slightly sacrifices driving excitement. The 86's powertrain emphasizes fun, with a light clutch pedal in the manual and intelligent gear logic in the automatic. Both transmissions demonstrate solid reliability, requiring only regular oil changes for maintenance. If you're the type who enjoys direct control over your vehicle, the manual transmission is undoubtedly thrilling.

I've personally experienced two transmissions in my Toyota 86. The 6-speed manual is the essence, with clear gear positions and crisp shifting. Downshifting and rev-matching on mountain curves feels exhilarating. The automatic 6AT version has a manual mode with responsive paddles, but lacks the engagement of a true manual. The 86's transmission design emphasizes driving pleasure, and its rear-wheel-drive layout delivers power directly. The manual is better suited for spirited driving, while the automatic offers convenience for commuting. The gear ratios are sporty, with reasonable daily fuel consumption, and the sixth gear provides smooth highway cruising. Over time, the manual clutch may wear occasionally, but maintenance is straightforward. The automatic requires attention to the electronic control unit, but overall durability is good. If you're after a pure driving experience, the manual is the clear choice, but for heavy traffic, the automatic prioritizes safety. In short, the transmission significantly enhances the charm of this compact sports car.

Should the Oil Dipstick Be Checked When the Engine Is Cold or Hot?

Check the oil dipstick when the engine is cold, specifically after the vehicle has been turned off for thirty minutes. This is because while the vehicle is in motion, the oil circulates throughout the engine, performing functions such as lubrication, friction reduction, heat dissipation, and cleaning. The consequences of oil exceeding the upper limit on the dipstick include: 1. Hindering crankshaft operation; 2. Increasing engine pressure, which affects engine power output. The method for changing the oil is as follows: 1. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature; 2. Engage the handbrake and lift the vehicle; 3. Unscrew the oil filter and drain the oil; 4. Apply new oil to the gasket of the new filter; 5. Pour the new oil into the oil pan; 6. Check for leaks under the engine; 7. Lower the vehicle, check the oil dipstick, and start the engine; 8. Turn off the engine and recheck the oil level.

How to Turn on Brake Assist?

Brake assist is automatically activated and does not require manual operation by the driver. It is enabled by default as soon as the vehicle starts. The brake assist system includes electronic brake assist and brake force assist systems. It can detect the driver's braking force and speed, then increase braking power during emergency stops to reduce stopping distance. Functions of brake assist: 1. Prevents wheel lock-up when braking; 2. When the vehicle experiences wheel slip, rollover, or loss of tire traction, it reduces engine speed while applying brake control to individual wheels to prevent dangerous loss of vehicle control.
